DERMATOGLYPHIC METHODOLOGY FOR ESTABLISHING ZYGOSITY IN THE TWINS [PDF]
Journal of IMAB, 2020 Dermatoglyphic traits (DT) of the palms are an instrument, which is used in anatomy, anthropology, genetics and forensic services. DT can also be applied to medicine and in parts to the prevention of diseases, early diagnostic and establishing important ...

Genetic Factors Are Not the Major Causes of Chronic Diseases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The risk of acquiring a chronic disease is influenced by a person's genetics (G) and exposures received during life (the 'exposome', E) plus their interactions (G×E).

Computation of twin-width of graphs [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter. In this article, we compute twin-width of various finite graphs. In particular, we prove that the twin-widths of finite graphs with 4 and 5 vertices are less than equal to 1 and 2, respectively. We show that the constructions of dual graph and line graph do not preserve twin-width.

Coronary artery disease in twins. [PDF]
Heart, 1981 In two pairs of monozygotic twins with coronary artery disease who were studied by coronary angiography, there were striking similarities in the clinical course, response to exercise, and distribution of coronary artery disease. Though it is difficult to distinguish between heredity as an independent risk factor and the other major risk factors, the ...

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Isolated anorectal malformation with rectoperineal fistula in monozygotic twins
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019 Incidence of anorectal malformation (ARM) is reportedly 1 in approximately 2500–5000 live births. While its etiology remains elusive, most evidence indicates genetic factors to be the major cause.

Preventing common hereditary disorders through time-separated twinning [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Biomedical advances have led to a relaxation of natural selection in the human population in developed countries. In the absence of strong purifying selection, spontaneous and frequently deleterious mutations tend to accumulate in the human genome and gradually increase the genetic load; that is, the frequency of potentially lethal genes in the gene ...

Three-dimensional study of grain scale tensile twinning activity in Mg: A combination of microstructure characterization and mechanical modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Tensile twinning is a main deformation mode in hexagonal close packed structure metals, so it is important to comprehensively understand twinning mechanisms which are not fully disclosed using 2D or small volume 3D characterization techniques. A large area 3D electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurement and crystal plasticity modeling were ...

Coeliac disease in identical twins. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1979 Coeliac disease occurred at the same age in MZ twins. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology of the small intestine, rapid response to a gluten-free diet, and relapse after reintroduction of gluten.
